The last 4 area polls were all posted 7 days apart with the last on the 18th. Is it normal to not have these in yet?

Do the poll voters not like Lima Temple Christian? 6-0-3 record and #10?

According to OSSCA, their schedule has been absurdly weak. Adj. Opp. are 7-40-4 (.176). No opponent has more than 1W listed.
It does pick up soon with Ottoville (7-3), Bath (5-4), Ft. Jennings (9-2), and Botkins (6-5) remaining.

Oh OK. That makes some sense then.

Plus teams in our area are generally underrepresented as a whole. There seems to be a Cleveland/Columbus/Cincinnati bias, which I guess is only natural

[Gview]

I'm not sure underrepresented is correct. Ottawa Hills is in the State Poll. I was referring to the current local poll.

I think the state pollsters are very good at picking the top ten (when all teams are submitted for voting).

Temple is not a strong side. I'd take teams with losses over them. The top four are really a good distance away from the rest in terms of quality wins.

There's a typo in the posted poll; that's a straight 5/6, not a tie.

Temple Christian 1-0 Ottoville

Upon further review, Ottoville's 7-4 record (now) is a bit deceiving. Their 7 Ws have come against teams with a 6-39-4 record (LCC being the best with 3Ws), whereas their 4 Ls have come against teams with a 29-9-3 mark (according to OSSCA schedules). Miller City (3-7) & New Knoxville (0-7) should both be Ws for them, but Kalida (5-5), Ft. Jennings (9-2) & Riverdale (4-3-3) will better tell us who Ottoville is.
